Antisemitism is once again on the rise in the United States and around the world.
But is the hatred of Jews today the same as in the past? Or has antisemitism undergone a dangerous mutation? The session will explore theoretical approaches to understanding antisemitism. We will also debate possible responses to the current situation and ask what, if anything, we can do about it. Participants will be asked to read a short text in advance of each class session.
